About NSS

National Service Scheme (NSS) is a Scheme of Government of India – Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. NSS provides opportunity for students to serve the Nation through community service. NSS Scheme was launched in 1969, the hundredth birth anniversary year of the Father of Nation. On 24th September NSS Day is celebrated every year with curriculum and activities.

NSS Motto

The motto or watchword of the National Service Scheme is 'NOT ME BUT YOU'. This reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service and appreciation of the other person's point of view and also to show consideration for fellow human beings. It underlines that the welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of society on the whole. Therefore, it should be the aim of the NSS to demonstrate this motto in its day-to-day programme.
